Michael Waltz (R-FL) tied Russia\u2019s increased aggression towards Ukraine to the&nbsp;Nord Stream 2 pipeline and argued that&nbsp; Vladimir Putin \u201cknows when he controls Europe\u2019s gas\u201d through the pipeline, \u201che can fracture Europe and sideline them in terms of sanctions or any type of military response\u201d to any Russian aggression to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Waltz said, \u201cThey have over 100,000 soldiers massed on Ukraine\u2019s border. Bret, I think, at this point, it\u2019s not a matter of if, but just when and how far does Putin go? And it is no coincidence that he\u2019s doing it after Nord Stream 2 comes online. Because he knows when he controls Europe\u2019s gas, he can fracture Europe and sideline them in terms of sanctions or any type of military response. And again, we need that clarity that the United States will support the Ukrainians, could send Stingers and air defense, which the Ukrainians have been asking for, and other type[s] of lethal assets. But instead, we\u2019ve seen kind of some diplo-speak.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><em>Follow Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday\u2019s broadcast of the Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cSpecial Report,\u201d Rep.
